The 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 Produces 190kW Power between 3250rpm and 4500rpm (200kW in 10 second overboost sport under hard throttle) and a strong 580Nm Torque as low as 1400rpm, out of 3000rpm.
It combines a stable 4 × 4 system and an eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF, whose low gears / they act as low-range equivalents.
In terms of acceleration and rolling response, it surpasses all its four-cylinder diesel competitors and will continue to do so until the new V6-powered Ranger arrives in mid-2022. Not bad for ute dating in 2010 …

That rating is based on a frontal offset score of 13.99 out of 16 and a side impact score of 16 out of 16. Whiplash and pedestrian safety were rated. Good And MarginalRespectively.
All 2021 Volkswagen Amarok models are standard with front and rear airbags and anti-lock brakes, but no airbags for rear seat occupants – different from all competitors.
There is also no active safety technology like autonomous emergency braking, which means Amarok will not get five stars if re-evaluated in 2022.
